At the Muzeum we were on time for the train tour which takes us several metres of elevation by pushing and pulling (zig zag)by switching lines, going up descending. Where we were exposed to how people lived in the past,there culture and lifestyle. However it was amazing to see the typical system of working the train in the past, to carry wood from the forrest.

Through various organization like the youth organization, which is a non government organization operated by him and other members.
Arosh.Ali who represent Bangladash, present about proverty within his community among young people.
